One week after stepping down from the Presidential race, retired neurosurgeon, Ben Carson endorsed the Republican Party’s frontrunner Donald Trump in Palm Beach last Friday.

Obviously they have both mended any discrepancy between them, saying that whatever happened between them during the campaign trail was just “politics” and it happens all the time.

This is coming as another big endorsement for Donald Trump as he bagged the support of New Jersey’s Governor, Chris Christie‘s endorsement last month.

Ben Carson, in his speech also called for the unification of the Republican Party party, saying, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” He also said that there are two Trumps, the one the public sees, and other Trump, who is a “reasonable thinker”.

Asked whether he would be accept to be the No. 2 man at a Republican Party fundraiser in Broward County last Saturday, Carson said, “I’ve told Mr. Trump that if it was really going to make a big difference I’d be willing to.”

“I looked at the others and I didn’t see path to victory for Rubio or Kasich, and I felt that Cruz was too polarizing and wouldn’t be able to bring across Democrats and independents,” he said on Saturday. “We’re in really different type of environment right now where if you can’t extend your base, you’re not going to win, and I’m afraid of what will happen if we lose” he said.

Trump had earlier said that if he wins, Ben Carson would play a big part in his administration in the areas of education and healthcare.

DeeDee, I am a black man and I support Trump. America has become too liberal for my liking and Christian interests are no longer protected. How does the exercise of a person’s fundamental human right make him a useless and stupid man? You don’t have to come here to display your animalistic ignorance.

You are simply one of those foreigners who already has papers and not willing for anybody to have again….i never used to believe this until i heard from even the white people that foreigners with papers hate new and incoming migrants more……says a lot about we black people

Ernie, I see your point and agree with you. But is Trump himself a ”Conservative”. If you check his stances, he seems to be ”all things to all men” depending on who he is talking to (perhaps asides immigration rules). Look at this article as an example charismanews.com/opinion/in-the-line-of-fire/55445-donald-trump-the-vacillator-in-chief
is he the best conservative Americans can find/choose ?

Uncle Tom,
What Christian interests are you talking about:… love your neighbor as yourself, be a good Samaritan, do not judge anyone, forgive anyone that wrongs you turn the other chick, build relationships and not walls……….??
typical hypocrite ..the trump you support does not even care about religion.

Olu calls me hypocrite and admonishes me not to judge anyone. I hear you. You don’t know what I know in this matter. I will refrain from insults which is typical of your ilks. Why is Trump still winning in spite of the media gang up and racial sentiments being incited by imps who can’t stand Trump? At my last check, democracy thrives on numbers. You don’t get that number by disrupting his elections or misquoting him. Trump has issues with illegals and does not have issues with legits. It is within Trump’s FUNDAMENTAL rights to have his say. Whether America decides to build walls or bridges, it’s not Trumps prerogative but Capitol’s. The foundation of America was built on Free Speech people.

So Trump supports Christian interests? Trump is as liberal as his opponents but hides under Republican Party. Republican ideology/policies years ago is far from what they are practicing now, and what their front runners stand for. I’m yet to see where his policies supports Christian interests or values. I guess racism is part of Christian interests. Nothing wrong with being conservative or Republican but to support someone who is not example of any of Christian interests makes you just as ignorant and blind as him. Trump was asked his favorite scripture in the bible, he answered he doesn’t know. Such a christian. He incites hatred and violence. That’s not Christ like. He hasn’t denounce David Duke(one of KKK members) who is publicly associated with him. He’s very arrogant, unapologetic when he’s blatantly wrong and misogynist. The same guy who makes fun of the disabled.
This is a man who is pushing for white supremacy which means going back to how America used to be. Public hatred for another human being is not Christian interest at all.

@ Ernie U can support him all U want, but trust me he ain’t going no where as long as Clinton is still in the race. No body wants an arrogant president, a dumb blonde first lady, a horrible hateful man. He’s not even fit to be called a president. Just because he’s got $$$ that’s all. If someone like Oprah, Michelle Obama or some other person was running, do U think Trump stands a chance? Absolutely NOT. So please vote for him & U shall be the first he will be shipping off to your Country & not even your American passport can save U. I’m a Citizen that doesn’t mean I’m standing in that damm cold to vote for Trump. So sweetie, take a hike somewhere & let others searching for greener pasture to have it all.

Oh Ben?, you could have just retired as that astounding neurosurgeon that aspired people like myself to specialize in neurosurgery.

I think the fact that Donald is garnering so much support all around the US tells a lot about the average American, despite the fact that one or two people come on Twitter to cuss him out, he is still gaining strength daily.
??

I agree with you. Every time I read anything Mr. Carson has to say now I am filled with so much despair- and to think his book ‘gifted hands’ was how I first knew about him in Jss3. It was so inspiring that for a while, I had this dream of becoming a surgeon too( that includes the fact that I get nauseous at the sight of blood -even in movies, my braid is dead when it comes to maths, I cannot even name 5 elements in the periodic table) so really and truly science was not for me, but still I dreamt, and it was because of how inspirational his story was. I had dreams of turning my would be olodo science student to a brilliant surgeon. I could see the headlines “From F’s to Fistulas” or some shit like that.
Now for those who like Trump*sigh* I find it very difficult to support a man who incites prejudice and I think when a person starts to say something along the lines of “America is becoming to liberal?” then there is a problem. Too liberal for whom? which sect in the society is enjoying the fruit of this overtly liberal society? is Trump’s watered down version of “muslims are not welcome here” the way to go? Once the Muslims go, who do you think will be next? and the gun laws he supports who do you think will be at the receiving end of the barrell? Unless your name is Jerry, you have been to Harvard or whatever your version of Oxbridge is in the US and your skin is paler than pale, you are not safe!

my 2 cents on this is this.. like Dr Ben said, i strongly feel there are somethings going on behind the scenes we do not know about, i definitely am pro democrats, but, like someone said earlier America has become wayyy 222 liberal. i feel the donald we are seeing is just a facade and he has pure intentions for America, but been as brash as he has always being his methods and cockyness masks it. at the same time, his antics al through his campaign trail is cringe worthy, i saw his rallies over the weekend and was appalled, as for hillary, yet to make up my mind on her… we are watching well i am.

If ben sees a different Trump than than the rest of the world how does that help? Trump is aspiring to be the president of the people and not just Trump, so what the majority thinks is what really matters. I’m really surprised at Ben’s endorsement.

Republicans always see themselves as self entitled and privileged a typical trump attitude that reflects the majority of white rich and middle class Americans. Ben Carson is a sell out on the black community and other minorities because of personal gain. He has lost credibility in my opinion.
May God help America.
